Hey there.
I couldn't find any old posts on this topic, so I decided to post a new thread.
Ever since I updated to 6.1 (I've tried both roms, and both have this problem. Maybe it's just my phone, which is why I'm asking) my phone will crash while sending e-mails and browsing the internet (an even faster crash when WiFi is on).
Any help would be appreciated.
Regards,
James
Just for anyone who happens to come across this thread and has the same problem, it was the battery.

I assume the battery is thicker with a new battery covering? Is it that much thicker with this new battery?

Yeah it is slightly thicker that is why they provide you a new back cover... But it is not much thicker... I would say about 4-5 mm thicker.... which is about a half a cm... not to bad...

Got mine on eBay and recieved it in two days via USPS.
It is a bit bigger now; the battery cover is about the size of the phone so the bottom of your phone where the battery is located is about 2x the size of the stock size.
When I talk in calls or hold the phone my finger usually uses the size difference to grasp the phone in a way.
I like it!

Nice so is your back cover the same as the phone like the same feel, because my friend got one and the back cover was not rubberized rather it was shiny...
Mine is the same OEM style cover. Rubberized and same color. I'll get you the link to the seller's store.

Yep I thought it was skyfire browser but its definately the battery I got a new one on ebay and no more problems!

Oh right on, so do you still use the dash stats or do you like the G1... I kinda went back to the Dash but I wish the dash had 3G...
the only time I can talk on the phone without it blacking out and cutting off in the middle of an task it has to stay on charger?

I get the same thing I have 2 different batteries but NOTHING!!
I Read somewhere its my dash!!!! not the battery how long have you had your dash!?
Had the same problem after 7 months and I called Tmobile and they replaced the phone and battery.
mine did the same thing...battery fixed the issue..then after 4 months it started again...if i would do just about anything it would shut off...so i replaced it with a different phone...i couldnt stand that **** anymore...so now the dash will be a dust collector with the other old phones...

Yeah Im trying that now I have reduce it to 170 MHz and 192 MHz it looks ok now. It seems to turn off when I use the internet wifi or something that uses ALOT ! of CPU mem or speeds it up hahahaha this Pice of crap Sucks does anyone know any solutions beside getting ride of this crap that its drving me CRAZY.....
i tried everything...as in the previous post, it will idle fine, but as soon as something processor intensive runs, the phone dies...
having to use it while plugged in tends to take the 'mobile' out of mobile phone...to me, the dash became useless.

use omap clock which comes with the kavana/ricky 6.1 rom..in 'my tools" you should see OMAP
Oh great...... Well I just recieved a new battery and it seems to do exactly that, reboots the phone as soon as i try to open or do anything on it... cheap, but my old battery works fine? how does that make sense?
I brought a new battery 1050 mah with a 12 month warranty for $21 now it doesnt shut off any more, but now my problem is active syne because im trying to update/upgrade from wm5 i had it before but i took it off because i thought the kavana 6 was the reason it went black but now i cant even do a new rom ugh!

reinstall your ROM.. some 3 party apps may crash your device too..
The REAL Fix
Ok here is the scoop, all the OEM batteries are "expiring" which means you get a new one, it works for a week or a few weeks but it still goes bad and does exactly what the last battery was doing, which is cutout, and your phone goes black and won't come on again in many instances despite a full charge on the battery. Buy a new battery from simplo does not work long either. You will have to get on ebay and get an extended life battery. They make fat ones, and high-capacity ones (thin) ones. They cost more but they are manufactures much later than the original oem and oem-like batteries, except they are not expired. I went through three batteries, went to lots of forums, read lots of stuff and finally found an extended life battery that I could afford IE 12 bucks, some go for as much as 90 bucks but I'm not shelling that much out. Anyways 3 months problem free, and I got this phone cheap because of the battery black-out problem. hehehe That is the real scoop. The phones are still great, just ALL the normal batteries are no good, even the new ones. My battery is 1100mah for your reference a like or greater capacity battery would work great.
new battery then hard reset
Hello everyone, yesterday, my two months old HTC Desire Z (NL, no simlock, CWM 3.0.0.5, CM7RC2) ran out of battery. When I put my phone back in the charger later at night, the red LED began flashing, 2 flashes (interval about 1sec.) and than no flashing for 2 or 3 sec. and starting over again. it sometimes boots into recovery, but then turns itself of after a couple of seconds. I left it in the charger a full night with no effects, let it "rest" for about 8 hours and put it back, still no success.. Anybody an idea? thanks in advance ;-)!
Did you try a battery pull? Leave it out for about ten minutes.
I was just going to put it back in after half an hour.. will edit if something happens, don't expect it as nothing happened after all the things I already tried
EDIT: goes flashing again, let me try to turn it on.
nope, nothing : (
This may seem a bit obvious, but did you try charging it through your computer? The AC adapter could just be broken.

That's not it, in the computer it doesn't even do the flashy thing. I think it's the battery, i'm going to buy a new one soon, €30 -.-" but since my warranty's gone it's worth the shot. keep coming with ideas please though! : )
Li ion batteries will stop taking a charge if they are over-discharged. Li ion batteries have a safety circuit that is SUPPOSED to prevent over discharge, but they don't always work. I've seen this happen to several folks over on the Touch Pro 2 forums. Charging overnight on the wall charger will sometimes work (USB is not enough). Otherwise you need a special charger/battery tester with a boost function to bring the battery back from the dead. Short of that, you just need to get a new battery.
Its possible you may have some issue besides over-discharge, such as a bad battery. But just in case, in the future it would be advisable to avoid discharging the battery below 20%, or at least 10%, whenever possible. Some here have claimed that newer phones, or perhaps the Android OS itself is better at preventing over-discharge of the battery. But this is the second post I've seen on the Vision forum with this same problem. So my inclination is still to be as cautious as possible with draining the battery too low.
I had this same issue once before, let my battery run out and then it wouldn't charge or turn on, so like stated above, I had a travel wall charger from chichitech and put the battery in that over night and it brought it back.

Honestly: I'm from the usa, I don't even know what the desire is. I'm assuming its a non us version of the g2.
In the tmobile store there are bigger batteries u can buy, I got the stock battery and never upgraded but I did see them there..
Go into your local store and I'm sure u could test it right there with there batterys.. if u don't wanna wait for ur friend that is..

I've been using the red chichitech 1800mah EVO batteries since October and love them, you just have to peel the red wrapper off and they will fit under the stock door. Plus for the price you get two batteries and a wall travel charger for what one stock battery will cost you, look for Chichitech on Amazon, I got them three days after I placed my order.

There is an Asian Desire Z too. In fact, the Desire Z is so much more widely distributed, I'd dare say the more definitive version is the Desire Z, and the G2 just happens to be T-Mob's variant. But that's just me. They are all Visions in the end, aren't they?

first hit on google was DON'T BUY THE CHICHITECH BATTERIES, and it says they're for the EVO 4G? how could that work on a vision..
anyone know if they make extended battery cases (similar to the mophi juice packs) for the xperia ion? my wife recently got the phone, we have it tuned now that the battery lasts longer for her, but she was asking about battery cases. i did some google searching, but didnt see anything for it, didnt know if someone on here would know.
thanks

don't expect it soon. our charging port is covered and right next to the micro hdmi out. i did notice that phones with those ports away from each other and are flush on the edge of the phone without being covered do have some sort of battery case.
Thursday i bought a 3800mAh extended battery from ebay with sprint in the title and also on the battery itself from the pictures i saw. I looked in the description and it also said verizon in it and was a tad confused as to will it fit. For $15 i figured i might as well try it out and see but it gets here monday. I just wanted to know if anyone knows if it will fit on my sprint galaxy nexus properly? or maybe i will have to make some alterations as long as it works? link for it is: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=370639867086
Cant say for sure but the teeth that hold it in place are supposedly in different places.
I read that one or two may be out of place but all of them?

Even one or two would ruin how it's seated on the phone.
The guys in the accessories section probably have a better idea of it.

Well the battery came today and had 53 percent left on it. Currently im doing the initial first full drain and so far im already very very impressed! I can already see an increase in battery life. The door fits perfectly on both of the batteries(I ordered two of em) with no problems what so ever. Great so far. No problems with it snapping on at all
Okay im slightly confused, should i drain the battery first or charge it fully overnight?
